Chapter 100 A Foolish Decision; There's Only One Mother
"No..." The servant was about to say that it was Lin Qingwan who was burned and Jiang Liwu was fine, but Si Mocheng wouldn't listen at all. "Is this how you take care of her?" Then came a barrage of scolding, making the servant tremble like a grandson.
Finally, he said, "I'll be right back," and ended the call.
The servant looked dazed, still reeling from the scolding, until Lin Qingwan asked, "Is A-Cheng coming back?"
The servant instinctively replied, "Yes, young master said he'll be there soon."
Lin Qingwan was surprised. Si Mocheng was actually so worried about her? A feeling of surprise and joy rose from her chest.
Suddenly, Lin Qingwan felt that the burn was worth it. A sweet smile appeared on her lips. She never expected that she was so important to Acheng. Acheng was usually serious and indifferent to her, but in reality, she had long lived in his heart and become an indispensable part of his life. He just didn't realize it.
Jiang Liwu's calm demeanor made Lin Qingwan slightly annoyed, as if she hadn't taken any of Jiang Liwu's tricks seriously from beginning to end, and she didn't know where Jiang Liwu's confidence came from.
Indeed, the burns alone were not enough to drive Jiang Liwu away, nor could they make Si Mocheng truly see his own heart.
Lin Qingwan stared intently at her swollen, blood-red hands, her lips pressed tightly together as she made a decision.
After wrapping her hands with thick gauze and medicine, she blocked Jiang Liwu at the bottom of the stairs, saying, "If you pushed me down the stairs, would you still be able to stay in Lingshui Bay?"
"Believe me, you will regret your foolish decision," Jiang Liwu said, stating a fact.
But this provoked Lin Qingwan, who retorted, "Aren't you taking yourself too seriously? I've been by A-Cheng's side for so many years, and you've only known him for a few days. What makes you think you're more important to A-Cheng?"
Jiang Liwu remained silent. "I have no intention of comparing who is more important to you. I've already said that my relationship with Si Mocheng is that of relatives and family. If you like him and want to be his lover, my existence will not threaten your position in any way."
Lin Qingwan sneered, "Clever words and a flattering demeanor."
Just then, a servant's respectful voice rang out from afar, "Young Master, you're back."
Lin Qingwan immediately turned her head and caught a glimpse of Si Mocheng's sharp and swift figure out of the corner of her eye. She knew she couldn't wait any longer; the opportunity had come. So she suddenly grabbed Jiang Liwu's hand, curled her lips into a malicious smile, and then cried out in a panic, "Miss Jiang, what... what are you going to do?"
The next second, she grabbed Jiang Liwu's hand and tried to slam it against her chest, but she couldn't budge it. Lin Qingwan couldn't help but grit her teeth.
Just as she was about to let go and fall backward, Jiang Liwu raised an eyebrow and said, "I'll help you." Then she kicked her down cleanly.
Lin Qingwan stared in horror. The force of the kick was different from the force of the push, which exceeded her expected tolerance.
Therefore, Lin Qingwan fell down the stairs in an extremely disheveled and miserable manner. If it weren't for the thick carpet on the stairs, she might have lost her life there.
When she crashed heavily onto the cold tile floor, Lin Qingwan lay there bleeding from her head, looking horrified.
The servants were all startled by this sudden scene and screamed.
Lin Qingwan felt as if her eyelids were weighed down by a thousand pounds. Looking down at Jiang Liwu, who was staring down at her as if she were an ant, a surge of resentment burned fiercely in her chest and made her perk up.
"Miss Jiang... why did you... push me?" Lin Qingwan's face was pale, blood was trickling from the corner of her mouth, and her voice was extremely weak and mournful.
Upon hearing this, the servants were extremely shocked. They immediately thought of the kitchen scalding incident, and it seemed that Lin Qingwan's scalding was indeed caused by Jiang Liwu.
Jiang Liwu hasn't even officially become the mistress of the Si family yet, but her methods are already so ruthless.
However, when Si Mocheng realized that the person who fell from the building was Lin Qingwan and not Jiang Liwu, his hurried and anxious steps became unhurried and calm. Upon seeing this, Secretary Chen behind him sharply pushed up his glasses.
“Miss Jiang, you’ve really misunderstood. My relationship with the young master isn’t what you think. I’ve never said that I’m the young master’s fiancée. That’s all nonsense. I really have no intention of overstepping my bounds. Please believe me.”
"The reason I know so much about the young master's daily life is simply because I am his personal butler."
"I dare not go near the young master again, Miss Jiang, please spare me..."
Seeing Si Mocheng approach, Lin Qingwan's eyes filled with tears, her face filled with sorrow and grievance, all her unspoken words turning into a sense of dependence and expectation.
She hoped that Si Mocheng could stand up for her and personally carry her to the hospital.
However, in reality, Si Mocheng didn't even glance at her and simply walked past her upstairs.
His eyes widened in disbelief, "Young...Young Master?"
She could only console herself that it was because Si Mocheng wanted to punish Jiang Liwu first.
However, to everyone's surprise, Si Mocheng not only did not reprimand Jiang Liwu harshly, but also worried about whether Jiang Liwu was injured.
Where did you get burned? Is it getting any better?
Si Mocheng examined Jiang Liwu's exposed body parts, but just as he was about to squat down to examine her feet, Jiang Liwu stopped him, asking, "How do you know the person who got burned is me?"
"Not you?"
"Of course not me."
Si Mocheng breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're alright."
Lin Qingwan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Was her life or death really that unimportant? Si Mocheng clearly saw her lying in a pool of blood, so why did he care about Jiang Liwu, who was completely unharmed and not even frightened?!
She cried out hoarsely, unwilling to accept it, "Young Master, it was Miss Jiang who pushed me."
Si Mocheng then gave Lin Qingwan a cold, all-knowing, and sharp look. "Is that so?"
Seeing his distrustful look, Lin Qingwan felt a sharp pain in her heart, was deeply hurt, and was heartbroken. "Young Master, I have served you for so many years. Don't you believe me? Do you think I would risk my life to frame Miss Jiang?"
"Who would joke with their own life? If I fall and die, I'll really be dead and gain nothing. What good would that do me?"
Si Mocheng does trust Lin Qingwan, but compared to Jiang Liwu, this trust seems insignificant.
After all, who wouldn't side with their mother and favor a housekeeper?
There's only one mother, but you can have as many housekeepers as you want.
Lin Qingwan closed her eyes, looking desperate and vulnerable. "If you don't believe me, young master, I have Miss Jiang's footprints on my body. I was kicked down by Miss Jiang."
